Tattoos have never and were never simply a signal of a non-conformist. I will admit their reputation has in the past was that people with tattoos are bad news, but that was, is, and always will be a myth. Tattoos have been around for thousands of years, yet you seem to be annoyed that what you think their meaning has had to society has changed over the last 50 years. That is very strange to me.
I'm not annoyed at all, it's actually rather amusing. People cover themselves in ink, get a few obvious piercings and then bemoan that society responds to their modifications in a negative way. If you are in a field where no one cares, great have at it. I'm still pretty certain most people prefer their cardiologist, dentist or attorney not sport visible ink. In the end, certain modifications limit your upward mobility options in society, if your ok with it, I'm ok with you doing whatever you want.
